Ya the squashed bumblebee made me giggle like a lunatic...while trying to keep my serious face on. It led to some straaaaange facial contortions. And I agree...a Picard/Kirk bake-off would be truly epic!

Like you, I could care less about who is playing, let alone winning the "Super Bore", but a team of Packards might grab my attention!

Do you ever wonder about how many wrecks there are out there that don't get sent into you? What does this tell us about the state of our educational systems? Is cake decorating a safety net for those who "fall through the cracks"?Very sad......but hilarious, nontheless! Squished bumblebee indeed!!!!!!!!

I'm a Packer fan and a friend of mine knows this. She, however, ALWAYS refers to them as the Packards. And not as a joke, she thought that's what they were until I explained that Packards were cars and the football team is the Packers, as in meat packers.

I went to high school in Wisconsin with a guy whose last name was Packard. So clearly that cake was for his family's superbowl party. I have no explanation for any of the rest, except that maybe they were *trying* to be on here? Please, let it be on purpose so they can make fun of themselves.

Well, I thought it was Packards. This is why I need Cake Wrecks. I get all my popular cultural education here. Sometimes, my kids are really impressed with my depth of knowledge - when I just casually drop reference to a Dana Carvey skit. However, sometimes they are equally as impressed by my ignorance, when I don't get the wreckieness of the Parckard cake!

Speaking of Vizzini, on the episode of Eureka we watched last night, one of the characters said, "They've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders: never go up against an Australian when DEATH is on the line!"

I giggled for 5 minutes while my fiance looked at me like I'd lost my marbles.

I recently ordered a super bowl cake for a huge shindig I'm a part of and I literally had nightmares last night about what was going to be on it. I'll be submitting it if it's worthy of the site. This particular bakery has never done me wrong but I just know with as busy as they should be this weekend, I'm going to be the one that ends up with the scary guy from the butcher department decorating my cake. If you don't hear from me Monday, Cleaver Joe did a good job....

The person who made the "Packards" cake was obviously making this cake in anticipation of the opening of the movie "Cars 2" this summer.Kirk vs Picard I have to go with Picard, the hairstyle, the accent, Oh yeah, PicardBatman vs. Superman I must go with Superman, although Batman has the better altar ego, but Clark did manage to marry Lois Lane while Bruce remains single. I'm thinking we need an Emperor Palpatine vs the Borg Queen cake.

WV: fautwarg- I think I'll let you fill in this one, you are way more creative than I am.

Ah! I took a picture of the Team Jacob cake at my grocery store back home to submit and I hadn't gotten to it yet, curses! Although theirs also had the unfortunate effect of their printer apparently running out of ink, so poor Jacob looked a LOT more pink and dreadful.

I snickered at the Go Packards, but I LOL'd IRL when I saw the Go Stelers! cake adorned with the Packers team colors.

And then I laughed even harder when I realized the first cake was Go Packards, because I thought it said Go Packhards. My mind must be in the cake gutter. Or perhaps I'm just too excited to see my beloved Packers deliver an epic beatdown on Sunday!

Besides the misspelled "Packards" it took me a sec to catch the attempt at green/gold Packers colors--they used a pastel, mint green and a "dead mustard" shade of gold. But then did the writing in the correct shade of dark green! This decorator scares me.

But Vizzini doesn't even make it through the whole film. Doesn't even plan to do any killing himself. Humperdinck at least tries to kill Wesley and intends to kill Buttercup. OTOH, a Vizzini cake could be covered in "Inconceivable!"

Ah, bit lost on me, I'm in the UK so had no idea it WAS the superbowl this weekend, and still think you're talking about AMERICAN football, if it's just football it doesn't involve a ball that shape :-D

The Pack...uh...thing CCC patooey takes me right back to the 80s and the various weddings I attended. Dear me, the torture that bridesmaids went through! Just imagine it in taffeta with a matching puffy froufrou skirt :) Oh and apparently the Packuhthings are from Greanbag.

I wanna eat those yummy fondant cake. I remember myself before craving to make that kind of cake before. I hurriedly find recipes for it. For the beginners who loves to make Fondant cake and icing on their, here is a sure way recipe for you.

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.
